"Lights in the Sky" is the seventh track on the Nine Inch Nails album The Slip. It appears to consist of Trent Reznor singing and accompanying himself on solo piano, augmented toward its ending with very quiet ambience and flute. The structure resembles the "stripped-down" version of "The Fragile" found in the Still album.
The art is vague, but may represent a light in the sky, a whirlpool (As in "Watching you drown; I'll follow you down") or possibly even a halo (in the sense of the literal meaning or the NIN catalogue system). It is also one of the three pictures in The Slip that have no red lines.
Curiously, the track overlaps into "Corona Radiata" and shares its tempo (55 BPM), but whether the tracks are otherwise related is possible but unknown.

Lyrics
She's mostly gone Some other place I'm getting by In other ways Everything they whispered in our ear Is coming true Try to justify the things They used to do Believe in you Watching you drown I'll follow you down I am here right beside you The lights in the sky Have finally arrived I am staying right beside you I tried to stay away Just in case I've come to realize We all have our place Time has a way you know To make it clear I have my role in this I can't disappear Or leave you here Watching you drown I'll follow you down I am here right beside you The lights in the sky Are waving goodbye I am staying right beside you
